To whoever reported it I say this. I know its nudity but its the statue of David. I’m not censoring the statue of David lol.
A while ago, I went to Good Will and saw (and bought) a stone relief of the Vitruvian Man. I love the art itself, but even better was that the staff of the store had taped a tiny piece of paper over the genitalia. That will never not be funny.
Actually, Michelangelo made it small on purpose, because big ones were seen as a sign of low intelligence and animal-like behavior back then. Probably for racism reasons.
An ancient cracked.com article posited that, seen from above - as might be the theoretical perspective of the sculptor - every aspect of the statue represents the subject being in a state of fear, due to being about to fight Goliath, hence the shrinkage.
Unfortunately I cannot find the article, nor prove this to be the case.
Why is it pointy
Isn’t yours?
